Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1332710A2] The endoscope (1) has an electric motor (5) for rotation of the side viewing optic (11), with a mirror (15) for deflection and projection of light onto an examined object at a given viewing direction and for reflecting the image of the object onto an integrated video camera (7). The latter is contained within a hollow cylinder (6) rotated by the electric motor, which is positioned behind or at the side of it, the side viewing optic mechanically coupled to the hollow cylinder.
